Earlier this month, Washington picked up an unconfirmed report that Mao was paralyzed; at about the same time Sinologists in Hong Kong heard rumors, from sources inside and outside China, that he was gravely ill. Then, from Moscow late last week, came the most detailed report to date. Communist sources there told TIME Bureau Chief Jerrold Schecter that Mao had suffered a stroke on Sept. 2 and was in critical condition; only a massive medical effort was keeping him alive. According to the sources, while Mao alternated between coma and consciousness decision-making in Peking was being handled...
...colors of several international airlines: TWA, Pan Am, Lufthansa, Air France. For the moment, however, the planes are the world's largest gliders -because they have no engines. Pan Am had been scheduled to get the first three commercial giants, each with a capacity of 362 passengers, in late November. Last week embarrassed Boeing officials said that performance difficulties in the Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines would delay that delivery by as much as eight weeks...

They cannot really tell an orgy from...
...SECOND thread to our story begins at M.I.T. in the late fifties, where the revolution in computer technology was just getting underway. The great breakthrough that was being made at this time was in the development of computer programming techniques that allowed several different people to work on different tasks on a single computer simultaneously. The development of such "time-sharing" systems enormously improved the efficiency and usefulness of computers, and in 1963 ARPA agreed to fund a project which was intended to develop the full potentialities of the new time- sharing technology. This program (Project MAC) developed over several...
